hmmm...kind of ties into 'crime and deviance' in sociology, as deviance being defined as a social construct reflecting those in power. That is a sufficient answer in a societal context, however doesnt deal with the universal laws I was speaking of in a broader context - the laws of nature (diet example) How could they be social constructs? These rules have applied to all since the dawn of this age.
As far as the seperation mind set (teacher/student), that is a personal construction of the ego I dont subscribe to in a context of it making anyone unequal just in different time spaces. God/nature is the only teacher, and we are students. On a societal level everyone learns from others. We all play the teacher at times and the student others everyday of our lives. To learn and gain wisdom is a constant in life. Aside from learning how else can society evolve to a higher reality construct?
